Sheffield Hallam University staff in China were threatened by individuals described by them as being from China’s National Security Service who demanded the research being done in Sheffield be halted.China was seeking to halt research by Laura Murphy, professor of human rights and contemporary slavery at Sheffield Hallam, into allegations Uyghur Muslims in the north-western region of Xinjiang were subject to forced labour.
In late 2024, following pressure from the Chinese state and a separate defamation law suit against the university, Sheffield Hallam decided not to publish a final piece of research by Prof Murphy and her team into forced labour.
And in early 2025, university administrators told her that she could “not continue with her research into supply chains and forced labour in China”.

Mimo usilnych prób i początkowych sukcesów Moskwie nie udało się przekonać Amerykanów do przyjęcia rosyjskiego punktu widzenia w sprawie wojny z Ukrainą. Nie ma mowy o przekazaniu czterech ukraińskich obwodów, rozbrojeniu ukraińskiej armii, zmianie władzy w Kijowie, natychmiastowym zniesieniu sankcji czy wykraczającemu poza ten konflikt żądaniu wycofania się NATO na granicę z 1997 roku. Przeciwnie, Amerykanie nałożyli pierwsze w tym roku sankcje, zmusili Indie do zaprzestania kupowania rosyjskiej ropy oraz z pomocą Europy dozbrajają Ukrainę.
